Ingredients

  

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (25g)
• ¾ cup light brown sugar packed (150g)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp instant coffee + 1 teaspoon hot water
• 4 extra ripe bananas mashed (about 440g)
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g)
• 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour (227g)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate of choice (300g); I recommend semi-sweet or dark

Method

 

1. Pre-heat oven to 340F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes.
3. Add the brown butter, oil, and brown sugar to a large bowl and whisk for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the eggs, vanilla, and coffee dissolved in water. Whisk for 1-2 minutes.
5. Add the mashed bananas and greek yogurt, and whisk until combined.
6. Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gently whisk until combined.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips. Do not overmix.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle more chocolate chips on top, if desired.
9. Bake for 65 to 75 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with light crumbs.
10. Remove from the oven and let the banana bread rest in the loaf until it fully cools down. Once cooled, remove from the pan, serve & enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, use browned butter. Be careful not to burn the butter while browning.
